The University of London Press (also known as UoL Press) is a publishing house that is part of the University of London. Based in the School of Advanced Study at Senate House, it "seeks to facilitate collaborative, inclusive, open access interchange, within and beyond the academy."[1]

History

[edit]
The University of London Press is located in the art-deco style Senate House in London, whose entrance hall is shown above.

The University of London Press was originally established in 1910. From 1949 to 1979 it was known as Athlone Press.

In 2019, the University of London Press was relaunched as an open access publisher, and in 2023 the Press rebranded with a new logo, website and mission, aiming to "open up humanities research"[1]

Publishing

[edit]

The University of London Press publishes cutting-edge humanities research. They are a non-profit, predominantly open access university press and offer authors a friendly, professional and collaborative publishing experience.

They publish 20—25 books a year across the humanities disciplines, publishing work that highlights the importance of humanities research and opens up debate.

They publish with a wide range of partners who benefit from the experience and flexibility they offer in meeting the needs of specific disciplines and research institutions. The Press is an integral part of the School of Advanced Study (SAS) at the University of London, which has enabled them to forge long-lasting and productive relationships within SAS, across its international renowned humanities institutes and with leading scholars. Several of their book series are published in association with the institutes (listed below) and other scholarly associations such the Royal Historical Society, and offer important venues for new humanities research both within and across disciplines.

The University of London Press has partnerships with the following institutes of the School of Advanced Study:
